[THE]The Matrix Trilogy - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi, my name is Mandragore.. and I'm a fan of The Matrix.. ..Hi, Mandragore!
Yes, I'm fascinated by the atmosphere and all the scientific, filosophical, psychological, religious and innovative aspects of the 'action' movie. And I thoroughly enjoy my equally groundbreaking Touch Diamond, with it's similarities in sense of style, design, and endless possibilities
Imagine how well it would have fitted in the world The Matrix created. On top of that, this forum shares the concepts of enhancing experience, unlocking potential and bending the rules. So, what better place for you, our talented, creative artists, developers and modders, to free your mind? To see how deep the rabbit hole really goes..
Or more down to earth, this is just a place to share stuff, links and idea's.. Think outside the box or load your fix through The Construct in the 2nd post. Thanks and credits to everyone involved!
If the Touch Diamond will not come to The Matrix, The Matrix will go to the Touch Diamond

"I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world ... without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you."

Well, why don't you collect the links and some screenshots and post them up here? I must admit it is a lot of reading through literally hundreds of posts and dozens of threads to get a preferred TF3D icon clock combination, but having said that it would only duplicate what is already here.

Thanks! As I have read and still enjoy reading a lot of ROM, theme and mod threads, I was planning to do just that and link whenever I can. No need to duplicate what's already out there. The same reason I started out with some external links to get the creative juices flowing and why I call this request thread a resource.
It's just that I haven't found specific The Matrix related stuff for the Touch Diamond yet.. So instead of asking around in several theme artists threads and boring people to death with my 'fetish', I thought I might as well ask just once and collect any results in one place, in case more people are interested in a joined effort.

I'd like to see this become a Touch Diamond resource for Matrix related ringtones, screensavers, TF3D themes and their components like clocks, wallpapers, curtains, sliders and icons, skins for all kinds of applications and mods like Start buttons etc. Also because, even though I have a background in designing and developing software and user interfaces, I'm rubbish at real graphics and artwork
Anyway, maybe you, our talented, creative artists and modders can help me out here. That would be just like the movie.. very

Skilty has finished the first TF3D Matrix theme, so check it out!

You need to post up some images of the actual TF3D screenshots, before most will download the themes...

I have now posted pictures if you check out this thread

I plan on doing an animation for the start-up with the "Matrix Code"

Does it work on our VGA Diamonds with WM 6.1? I'll try ASAP and if so, I'll add it to the first post.

A little nice thing...I use personalizer by Sergio PC so i write "Welcome to Matrix" instead of the provider
and I use the attached font

can you post JUST the clock?

Same here!!!! The clock shows 88:88 and everything else is gone. But it is nice and smooth though...good job music!!!!!!!
I was going for the Time machine effect, where it looks like you open your desktop and there is all this space back there. oh well. I guess it's not for everyone.
I'm working on a Supernova type of transition where a sudden burst of light comes out, then subsides to show the galaxy, then the Slabs come up.
hey man...lovely program... some constructive crit. though....i hope in the future you make an app to change up the programs and apps in the cube/flo....its slightly slow as compared to the original t.flo...and it would be nice if there was a changeable background... but honestly...amazing program...installes and uninstalls without any problems...launches and minimizes properly...except when its being launched it shows a background of a different touch screen, but thats just a cosmetic effect...ill giv more feedback if as i use it...hope it helps...thanks again for something great
He does it again!
MusicMan,
Nicely done!
Can you describe the easiest way to modify the shortcut locations/change the icons? Some of the shortcuts don't work, probably because I have installed programs on the storage card vs device proper.
Is there a way to set the default page? (so the phone shortcuts always pop up first?)
Thanks again!

[PRJ][01.01.2009] iDiamond Project v.0.2b [PUBLIC BETA IS OVER]

Hello boys and girls!
Here's my little Chrismas present for you: iDiamond Project public beta
As for now, it's nothing but a fancy application laucher, but it will be developed into complex UI over time. I'm too lazy to write more, so look for yourself.
And yeah, a feedback (or even an usability review) will be appreciated.
Special thanks to:
mun_rus: for your help in manila R&D (reverse-engineering and development)
bepe: for your useful hashing utilities
nestore5: for your help with decompilation
chainfire & guys: for QTC converter
Thank you all guys! You all helped greatly to make it happen!
System requirements:
TouchFLO 3D enabled VGA device
The official beta testing period of v.0.2 is over, coz all valuable information is collected and we got into flood&flame stage.
You're supposed to stop using the beta and wait for next releases (in Feb-Mar). The beta will forcefully expire after Jan, 15th.
If you haven't got a chance to try, here's the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VWsOUt41X4
Attention!
If you're going to distribute this to other forums, please do not remove credits.txt from the package, so users can always check back for newer versions in this thread.
Interface modders, if you're going to change some graphics, please leave loading screen logo untouched. This is my personal request
Regarding HTC Touch HD version:
I can not develop HD apps without actual device, and i don't think i will get any, coz it's not even sold here. But as soon a i get one (by some miraculous means), you can count on HD releases along with Diamond releases. You heard me
Donations:
I don't need money for this project, coz i write it for my own pleasure, and Paypal is not available in my region anyway. I wrote it just above, but i will state it more clearly: what i really need are Touch HD (for HD version) and iPhone itself (to look how things are done there), so, if you want, you can look in the direction of fundraising via someone trustworthy in the community, but that's just an idea...
Enjoy!
Known issues:
- Manila hangs or restarts sometimes during adding a shortcut
- Clock icon does nothing - it's just showing time (for now)
Impossible features (do not request them please):
- Locking the entire interface
- Integrating TF3D tabs into iDiamond UI
- Integrating iDiamond UI into TF3D
- QVGA version
Upcoming features:
- Setting wallpaper
- Built-in applications: picture viewer, music player (with coverFLO), messaging, etc.
- Active icons for applications: showing number of missed calls, new messages, etc.
Tips & tricks:
- Adding shortcuts to special places/actions, like Settings and New SMS (workaround): I haven't tried that personally, but i'm sure it's possible to create a special .lnk (with special parameters) for such actions (just goggle it) and add em like regular application.
"New SMS" shortcut attached. Just put it into your Programs folder
SMS Inbox: 00#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS"
More shortcuts here: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/windo...51874-windows_mobile_shortcuts_erstellen.html

Edit: So wait. This means my TF3D won't run Awe. I was hoping to secondtoday this....any way I can get two versions of TF3D running at the same time? I would like to keep TF3D and have this run on my fuze. Suggestions D-Man?
Good job, man. Can't wait to try...
1 min review:
Seems very usable. I like the look. I'm a compare it to the iFonz, like that it's not an app, but I still feel that if you can seperate the bottom four icons and put the page dots above it and have the same docking look as the iPhone. You're good to go Oh and I hate the fact that I can't have TF3D and have this running on Second Today I can only have one. No bugs so far. It seems pretty fast.

I understand the UI, but wondering if it was possible to make it so that TF3D still is the main hompage, and this becomes a replacement for the programs portion of WM6. I understand that it is iPhone like, but I like the TF3D, but would love to replace the programs folder with this instead of the WM6 version. Or even replacing the TF3D programs tab with this. Using it as a today screen cuts out alot of essential info. Just asking and giving feedback.

I basically said the same thing I think it would be possible, but D-Man would have to re-code it and change it, because I think it'd be hard to keep both of them. If you're want it like this only for the programs, I suggest you look into TouchXperience by schaps which should have a public beta by christmas >.> (I've been waiting ever so patiently for him to come out with it since it looks too good to be true and it's uber awesome and I could like talk about it all day since it's so awesome, but I won't because it's going to clog my whole post with TouchXperience)

To me (personal opinion) this is more of a app launcher (a nice one at that), and as far as TouchExperiance, I gave up on it and I think it has been abandoned.
tried it and like it!
it somehow slows down menu popup when im in app launcher thou, not at home screen
one more thing is sometimes it will restart itself when u add a shortcut, and u have to add a different shortcut instead of the one causing prob, then only able to add the one afterward

can you please help me 'unflat' those bars? i'm tired of this solid black...
i really tried to figure it out myself!! but this time, i lost the battle - but i think war is not over. come on soldiers, i know you know how to solve my problem

You can't - not with black anyway. The best you can do is grey.
Search for UI Tweaker, RC Mod and ThemeGen CE
yeah, a literally "black gradient" will be solid black anyways - i meant i want everything from the htc black theme, BUT with grey-to-black-gradient no-flat bars.
themegen ce is a thing i've already come across, besides it couldn't load the orig HTC Black.tsk file - i might re-create a black theme with non-flat bars, but (i suppose) this is something someone else around here has already done before. dl link anyone? :-D
though, thank you for your reply - will check UI Tweaker and RC Mod!
well, try this, bro:
Settings -> Today, choose Guava Bubbles theme
regedit, now:
hklm\software\microsoft\color\basehue -> to 160.
it should help.
absolutely marvelous!
thats EXACTLY the kind of tweak i was hoping for.. perfect!
[edit] i'm still amazed.. so simple, so effective. thanks for sharing your wisdom ^^
Also you can use this exe file. place it anywhere on your device and run it.
Enjoy,
dwizzy130
How do you do the regedit? what software do i need? any guides already written?
HAHA its like 20 questions up there!!! ^^^^^^
Thanks
Ok, i got task manager program with a regeditor and i changed that value to 160 but now it is a turquise/green colour! im not sure what is goin on now!
It was decimal that i needed to select. Sometimes im just dumb!!!!! no more pot for me before i decide to play with my phone
Try this:
http://www.ziao.nl/2009/02/release-zifi-vga/
Another one...
You could also try this... it let's you choose any colour you like.
PS. I haven't tried this myself on the Diamond, but I had it on my older devices.
BaseHueExpress would do the trick _after_ selecting guava bubbles theme, to avoid reg editing.. it has no effect on the original htc black.tsk theme, cause the 'flatness' and 'blackness' is kinda hardcoded into this theme. Though its a good app for quickchanging the magical basehue value without manually touching the registry
@ziao
the skin looks very nice, very aesthetic. i dont have wisbar, so it is as beautiful as useless for me ^^ but nice work anyways!

*Icon Challenge*.. WM 6.5 Honeycomb Icons collaboration! [Updated: Read Post 1]

Attention all graphic guru!!!
I Think its time to make WM 6.5 Unique!..
The stock icons are ugly.. and the iphone icons are played out!..
I was thinking that since WM6.5 start menu has the offset honey comb layout.. we could start making Honey Comb icons to be used with re/Start to change the start menu icons..
I suggest making them a little smaller than the actual honey comb place holder so that there can be adequate spacing between icons..

actually...i suggest that the icons be made in resolutions higher than the actual place holder so they can be easily scaled as to user preferance.
Whatever Works!!!!

Its an open challenge.. Im working on some right now.. but my graphic knowledge is weak.. so Im just putting it out there for the more experienced graphic gurus to join if they'd like..
Im just tired of us WM users using the square iphone imitating icons.. I know we're better than that..
I'm not sure I quite understand the concept of "honeycomb" icons... Do you mean just making thim hexagonal?

yeah.. because the icon layout for the WM 6.5 menu is offset in the honeycomb pattern.. I figured making hexagon icons will fit the layout..
I know a lot of people don't like the new start menu.. but that's what's in WM 6.5.. so why not just work with it.. at least until someone create a better looking start menu to replace the WM one.. haha.

I like that! Transparent might be good...

			
				
FYI that looks BADASS
Although I think the second one is too transparent.
Personal Pref. I thought the First was amazing.
Actually, can you post the layered version of this file? Id love to run with that look and make a full theme. If we all pitch in a few, we can churn out a bunch!
PSD
Here it is. Take off with it. I'll admit I'm pretty unorganized with my PSDs so please forgive me if it's hard to work with!

Ohh Man.. That is Awesome! Can you hook me up with some templates so i can play with it?.. also.. bluemetalaxe said He's willing to help us with graphics.. his icons are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533993
PM him if anyone needs help..
Man.. Im excited.. we're on the right track.. Just one more thing though..
the icon size.. some people have the Large icons due to 3 rows stat menu.. but most people are acually using the 4 rows which require smaller icons..
does any one know what icon size is for 3 rows and 4 rows?.. the reason why i suggested the icons be made a little bit smaller than the actual place holder is because i want to allow some space for the program name under the icons..
Let me know what you guys think..
=)
the template's in the post right above yours.

Gotta say the icon produced looks sweet
I was made this icons:
Those are pretty nice. Though I think it's odd that there's a round highlight.

Wrong way round
Hi there, thanks for this. The graphics looks really ace. Just one question though. I have it installed and it seems as though it is the big icons that are in the back ground and when the slider moves over them they get smaller (I thought the purpose of the slider was to zoom in on the icons). Thought I would point this out incase it was unintentional. Or it could be something on my phone doing the wrong thing.

I think that is how it works too...not sure...on the other tabs like in contacts they seem to stay the same size.
I used HDWall to create it and all the images were the same size for both large and small icons and just had HDwall resize it.
I thought the icons stayed the same size and the large ones appeared in the middle of the screen. It is hard to see the tab with your finger on them when you are sliding so I am guessing the larger ones are suppose to be in middle of screen.
Will look into it though.
thank you very much, good input

They are all from the Mega device except for Stocks and Calendar. The Calendar is from WM 6.5 and the Stock is from some website I found online. I just touched them up and used HDWall to import them.
I would guess they would work on a VGA device. Give them a shot and let me know. They will uninstally properly, well they should
Is there a registry key for the transparancy of slider's icons ?

But can you also update/change the slider-icons of the all people section (go to people tab and press all people) and the one-person-section (as seen here: http://www.pocketnow.com/html/portal/reviews/0000001139/review/pc_capture58.jpg) and maybe also the in-call icons?

Sorry I am not a graphic artist...just a low lever modder The icons were already like that in the ROM and all I did was use HDWall to make slider.
Update again
I updated the files once again. In the current slider the icons go from big to small as you slide in the new version it is more like the OEM. It was pointed out earlier in the thread and just "fixed" it.
Thank you so much.. just installed on my Tmo TP2 and they look AWESOME. Great work and thx for sharing.
I just want to thank you verry much At0mAng.
It work perfect and looks perfect on my dutch Pro II...
